If you’re a Facebook member and have visited the site recently, you have noticed the redeisnged interface and fucntionality of the site. Unfortunately, a lot of members do not like the new look and feel of it. As a result of this change, Hundreds of thousands of Facebook members gave a thumbs down by starting Facebook groups against the re-design.
